To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUST HILPERT, of Hoboken, in the county of Hudsonand State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Method ofInlaying Sheets of Card or Leather Board or like Material, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved method ofinla-ying card or leather board and like fibrous material, therebyproducing novel and effective ornamental sheets which may be used forvarious purposes.

The invention consists in punching the desired design out of a sheet ofcard or leather board, thick paper, or like fibrous material and fillingin the apertures thus produced with corlesponding pieces of the same orsome other suitable material pressed into said apertures.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows a piece of card-boardprovidedwith the monogram S inlaid according tom y improved method. Fig.2 is a crosssectional elevation of the same on line mm, Fig. 1.

Any desired design, monogram-letter, figure, or ornament is stamped orpunched out of a sheet of card-board, pasteboard, leatherboard, thickand heavy paper, or any other suitable fibrous or like material, and theap ertures thus formed are filled in with corresponding pieces of one ormore colors punched out of a sheet of the same or like material andpressed into the said apertures, so that they spread and bulge, and arethus secured in the apertures, and are also held by means of cement,glue, or some other suitable adhesive material.

The desired ornament or design may be punched out in one piece, or itmay be pro- (ModeL) duced by punching out a series of smaller pieces,and then filling in these apertures in the manner described above.

The filling-pieces may be punched out and filled in' withdifferent-colored material before being pressed into the aperture in'themain sheet.

Li near or curved ornaments ma y be produced by punching long st aightor curved slots into the board and filling them in in the mannerdescribed.

The sheets ornamented in the manner described are especially adapted forchair and bench bottoms and backs, for decorating walls and ceilings,and like purposes.

Having thus described my inven tion, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. As a new article of manufacture, a sheet ofcard-board, leathenboard, thick paper, or like material inlaid withpieces of the same or like material, substantialtv as herein shown anddescribed.
